Table information for 'sidc_f107_forecast.epn_core'

General

Table Description: Forecast target days and F10.7 values for each SIDC issue.

This table is available for ADQL queries and through the TAP endpoint.

Resource Description: Historical daily forecasts of the 10.7 cm solar radio flux (F10.7). Each row records the forecast target day, its effective issue time, the nominal lead time, and the predicted flux (sfu). Forecasts for the same target day from different forecast issues remain distinct.
